^aSignificance indicated is for baseline/follow-up comparisons in the total sample except in the absence of baseline comparisons. For that item, significance is indicated for the comparison between groups.

^bIncludes all CRs of untrained PHAs (n=124 at baseline, n=76 at follow-up) and PHAs who never started the training (n=64 at baseline, n=26 at follow-up).

^cPHAs who attended 1–4 sessions (n=10) were included in the follow-up total.

^dBased on a total of six slogans. All slogans were translated into Spanish or replaced with Spanish equivalents. Slogans were not included in the baseline survey to reduce interview influence on this intervention exposure measure.

^eBased on a total of 14 talking items related to health, transmissible diseases, harm or risk reduction, and treatment.
